HRSA Compliance Manual https://bphc.hrsa.gov/programrequirements/summary.html https://bphc.hrsa.gov/programrequirements/pdf/healthcent ercompliancemanual.pdf Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 24

Overview The Health Resources and Services Administration s (HRSA) Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC) is responsible for effective and efficient oversight of the Health Center Program. This includes ensuring that health centers comply with applicable statutory and regulatory requirements for the Health Center Program. The Health Center Program Compliance Manual serves as a streamlined and consolidated resource to assist health centers in understanding and demonstrating compliance with Health Center Program and Federal Torts Claims Act program requirements. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 25

Chapter 15: Financial Management and Accounting Systems Requirements 1. The health center must maintain effective control over, and accountability for, all funds, property, and other assets in order to adequately safeguard all such assets and ensure that they are used solely for authorized purposes. 2. The health center must develop and utilize financial management and control systems in accordance with sound financial management procedures which ensure at a minimum: 3. The fiscal integrity of grant financial transactions and reports; and 4. Ongoing compliance with Federal statutes, regulations, and the terms and conditions of the Health Center Program award or designation. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 26

Requirements (cont.) 5. The health center s financial management system must specifically identify in its accounts all Federal awards, including the Federal award made under the Health Center Program, received and expended and the Federal programs under which they were received (see 45 CFR 75.302). This financial management system must also provide for all of the following: 6. Accurate, current, and complete disclosure of the financial results of each Federal award or program in accordance with the reporting requirements (see 45 CFR 75.341 and 75.342); 7. Records that identify the source (receipt) and application (expenditure) of funds for federallyfunded activities. These records must contain information pertaining to Federal awards, authorizations, obligations, unobligated balances, assets, expenditures, income, and interest, and be supported by source documentation (see: 45 CFR 75.302(b)(3)); 8.

Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 27

Requirements (cont.) 10. A health center that expends $750,000 or more in Federal awards during its fiscal year must have a single or programspecific audit conducted for that year in accordance with the provisions of 45 CFR Part 75 Subpart F. 11. The health center must use any non-grant funds as permitted under section 330, and may use such funds for such other purposes as are not specifically prohibited under section 330, if such use furthers the objectives of the [health center] project. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 28

Demonstrating Compliance A health center would demonstrate compliance with these requirements by fulfilling all of the following: a. The health center has and utilizes a financial management and internal control system that reflects Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) for private non-profit health centers or Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) principles for public agency health centers and that ensures at a minimum: 1. Health center expenditures are consistent with the HRSA-approved total budget and with any additional applicable HRSA approvals that have been requested and received; 2.

The health center determines the type, frequency, and format of financial reports used to support the board and the key management staff s ability to carry out its oversight responsibilities. The health center determines which specific actions to take in response to negative financial trending and its method for monitoring the results of those actions. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 31

Chapter 17: Budget Requirements The health center must develop an annual budget that: 1. Identifies the projected costs of the Health Center Program project; 2. Identifies the projected costs to be supported by Health Center Program [award] funds, consistent with Federal Cost Principles1 and any other requirements or restrictions on the use of Federal funding; and 3. Includes all other non-federal revenue sources that will support the Health Center Program project, including: a. State, local, and other operational funding; and b. Fees, premiums, and third-party reimbursements which the health center may reasonably be expected to receive for its operation of the Health Center Program project.

Chapter 16: Billing & Collections Requirements The health center must prepare a schedule of fees for the provision of its services consistent with locally prevailing rates or charges and designed to cover its reasonable costs of operation. The health center must assure that any fees or payments required by the center for health care services will be reduced or waived in order to assure that no patient will be denied such services due to an individual s inability to pay for such services. The health center must establish systems for eligibility determination and for billing and collections [with respect to third party payors]. The health center must make every reasonable effort to enter into contractual or other arrangements to collect reimbursement of its costs with the appropriate agency(s) of the State which administers or supervises the administration of: 1. A State Medicaid plan approved under title XIX of the Social Security Act (SSA) [42 U.S.C. 1396, et seq.] for the payment of all or a part of the center's costs in providing health services to persons who are eligible for such assistance; and 2. The Children s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) under title XXI of the SSA [42 U.S.C. 1397aa, et seq.] with respect to individuals who are State CHIP beneficiaries. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 33

Billing & Collections (cont.) The health center must make and continue to make every reasonable effort to collect appropriate reimbursement for its costs on the basis of the full amount of fees and payments for health center services without application of any discount when providing health services to persons who are entitled to: 1. Medicare coverage under title XVIII of the SSA [42 U.S.C. 1395 et seq.]; 2. Medicaid coverage under a State plan approved under title XIX of the SSA [42U.S.C. 1396 et seq.]; or 3. Assistance for medical expenses under any other public assistance program (for example, CHIP), grant program, or private health insurance or benefit program. The health center must make and continue to make every reasonable effort to secure payment for services from patients, in accordance with health center fee schedules and the corresponding schedule of discounts. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 34

Chapter 9: Sliding Fee Discount Requirements The health center must operate in a manner such that no patient shall be denied service due to an individual s inability to pay. The health center must prepare a schedule of fees or payments for the provision of its services consistent with locally prevailing rates or charges and designed to cover its reasonable costs of operation and must prepare a corresponding schedule of discounts [sliding fee discount schedule (SFDS)] to be applied to the payment of such fees or payments, by which discounts are adjusted on the basis of the patient's ability to pay. The health center must establish systems for [sliding fee] eligibility determination. The health center s schedule of discounts must provide for: o A full discount to individuals and families with annual incomes at or below those set forth in the most recent Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) [100 percent of the FPG], except that nominal charges for service may be collected from such individuals and families where imposition of such fees is consistent with project goals; and o No discount to individuals and families with annual incomes greater than twice those set forth in such Guidelines [200 percent of the FPG].

SINGLE AUDITS NEVAEH Healthcare Revenue Management

Single Audit Background on the federal law governing nonprofit audits The government passed the Single Audit Act of 1984 to ensure that those organizations receiving substantial federal funds use the funds in compliance with the federal government s funding requirements. The Act refers to a single audit because one of the objectives of the law is to replace the need for the federal government to audit the same non-governmental organization multiple times. The stated purpose of the law is to promote sound financial management of government funds by non-federal organizations, promote uniform guidelines for audits, and reduce burdens on government and nonprofits by promoting efficient and effective use of audit resources. The OMB explains it this way: "A single audit is intended to provide a cost-effective audit for non-federal entities in that one audit is conducted in lieu of multiple audits of individual programs." (Source: White House Office of Management and Budget) Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 41

Single Audit (cont.) Subpart F, Audit Requirements, applies to audits of non- Federal entity fiscal years beginning on or after December 26, 2014 (the first fiscal year that begins after December 26, 2014). For a calendar year end entity, these requirement become effective for December 31, 2015 year end audits. A full comparison of audit requirements under OMB Circular A- 133 and Uniform Guidance Subpart F can be found here: Audit Requirements Comparison Chart (Source: COFAR). - See more at: https://www.councilofnonprofits.org/nonprofit-auditguide/federal-law-audit-requirements#sthash.2d2kizti.dpuf Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 42

Single Audit (cont.) The requirement for a nonprofit to conduct a Single Audit is triggered when a nonprofit receives federal funds from either one or several government funding sources (whether in the form of a government contract or a grant) AND when that nonprofit expends $750,000 or more in federal funding in a single year. Federal funding means either money that originated directly from the federal government, or funds that came to the nonprofit from a pass-through entity, such as a state or local government agency. This is called a subrecipient relationship. In determining the total amount of federal funds expended, funds directly from federal agencies, as well as those federal funds received from pass-through entities, such as state government or other non-federal recipients, are included. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 43

Single Audit (cont.) How is a single audit different from a regular independent audit? What is its scope? A single audit covers the entire scope of the organization s financial operations, ensuring that: The financial statements are presented fairly; The organization has an adequate internal control structure, and that; The organization is in compliance with any special government regulations/laws that apply to the specific type of federal funding the audit covers. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 44

Single Audit (cont.) A Single Audit is significantly more detailed than a regular independent audit. Compliance with the Single Audit Act requires nonprofit organizations and their auditors to conduct an audit in accordance with the new Uniform Guidance. Auditors performing Single Audits are required to receive a heightened level of certification in order to perform such audits. There are specific and higher levels of testing that must be done on expenses to ensure that the federal funds have been used properly, as well as documented and reported correctly in the nonprofit's financial statements. Additionally, auditors are required to verify compliance with regulations specific to the program or grant for which funds were expended. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 45

Single Audit (cont.) In order to be certain all federal funds are accounted for in determining whether you meet the threshold for a single audit, your auditor should obtain documentation from pass-through entities sufficient to determine whether any of the funds you received as payment for services were federal, and if so how much. The single audit must be completed and submitted in machine-readable format to the Federal Audit Clearinghouse either 30 days after receiving the auditor s report, or nine months after the end of the nonprofit s fiscal year, whichever comes earlier. The single audit also must be submitted to any pass-through entity, if applicable, and Copies of the audit report must be made available to the public. Nevaeh Healthcare Revenue Management 46

Single Audit (cont.) CFR Section 200.514(b) requires that a Single Audit must include a determination of whether the financial statements of the auditee are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
